Celebrating St. George's Day with Unity and Purpose.
As members of the International Scout and Guide Fellowship, we come together on this auspicious occasion of St. George's Day to celebrate the values of courage, service, and community that define our Fellowship. St. George, the patron saint of scouting, epitomizes the ideals of bravery and selflessness. His legendary act of courage is a reminder of the power of determination and resilience in the face of adversity.
Sonderjyllands District is a regional part under Sct. Georgs Gildet, NSGF in Danmark. For some years they have a friendly connection to Gina Chiwela and Mary Nambela from the National Guide and Scout Fellowship of Zambia in Lusaka. Some years ago, we collected yarn and knitting needles which was sent in 2 big boxes with a total of 200 kilos to Lusaka. The purpose was to learn the girls in the schools to knit. It was there where we learned about the vulnerable children on three schools. NSGF Denmark supported as much as they could – but we learned that school uniforms were a huge problem.
It was in the year 1857 that everything would start. All of us in the Scout and Guide family can say that we are very lucky in having Baden-Powell in our life. Who would have thought that a person born in the 19th century would still be so up-to-date to our present days? I know that this day is a day of celebration and happy birthday to us all, but the world is going thru a lot of tense moments and more than ever, Scouting and Guiding are being put to the proof… nations are at war just around the corner, people are fleeing from their countries putting their lives at risk.
